In Dorian's wake, Bahamas appeals for climate action at UN

As the Bahamas strives to recover from Hurricane Dorian, Prime Minister Hubert Minnis appealed to world leaders Friday to tackle climate change — and encouraged travelers to visit to help the country rebuild. Telling the U.N. General Assembly the storm was "a generational tragedy" for his country, Minnis added to a growing chorus of pleas from island nations for help defending against rising seas, intensifying storms and other perils of a warming planet. Two years ago, Dominica's prime minister made that case to the assembly days after Hurricane Maria devastated his country.
